\nReversal
\n- Software stocks bounced this week on strong results from Snowflake and Okta, which both recorded their best days on record.
\n- The results signal that investors may have been too quick to declare the end of software with the emergence of artificial intelligence.
\n- Even as AI displaces certain tools and job functions, many software companies continue to show growth, assisted by their own AI products.
\n- The iShares Expanded Tech-Software exchange-traded fund rose 8% this week and closed May up 21%, the best monthly performance for the ETF since October 2001.
\n- With this month’s rally, the iShares software ETF is only down 3.8% for the year, still badly trailing the Nasdaq, which has gained 18% in 2026.
Snowflake
\n- Amazon said Wednesday that its cloud division has landed a $6 billion spending commitment from Snowflake, which includes the use of the company’s custom silicon and chips for artificial intelligence.
\n- Snowflake’s purchase of services and technology from Amazon Web Services will occur over five years, according to a press release about the agreement.
\n- Snowflake intends to expand its use of Amazon’s Graviton general-purpose chips, as well as cloud-based graphics processing units for AI.
